There is no doubt that the modern architect and designer is trying to make the most out of resources available. And that cannot be truer in the case of Adam Kalkin. The man is famous for transforming shipping containers into beautiful and luxurious modern homes that are in no way inferior to the traditional structures we’ve been used with. Ranging from a single room hub that is on the economy side of things to the full scale lavish homes that are more than just eye candy, Adam uses 6 to 12 containers to create these spacious and elegant interiors. With separate rooms, stairs, kitchen, a wonderfully designed bedroom and a whole lot more, they’ll cost you $150-$400 per square foot, with the cheapest container house costing $50,000! No kidding around here folks… its serious business. – via

This prefab home was spotted at CES and it might be the next-generation of prefab homes. The home, whose model name is Aegean, is a new design built from shipping containers by Los Angeles Architect Peter DeMaria for Logical Homes, a California prefab outfit. It was built inside the convention center for Olevia, a company that makes energy efficient televisions. Unlike the temporary booths favored by most exhibitors, this small footprint home is a fully engineered steel structure that was assembled in a matter of days. The house has modern lines and a long cantilevered roof – you can hardly see that this home is based on the adaptive re-use of two forty foot cargo containers. – Via – Dwell & Mocoloco
